True, but you should have to be a has been from the early 80's at the latest for classic rock stations to play you.

That *is* weird. Look, as I keep saying here, IMO, classic rock is a *time frame*. An era. & that era is (roughly) 1967 to about 1980.
No WAY is freakin 1 hit wonder Chumbawamba Ever gonna be classic rock.

I find it not only wrong but disturbing. It just goes to show what state the music world has become. A big pile of **** that really stinks. There is nothing good to say about what is going on in music today. Radio and record companies only care about making money and they could give a damn about discovering a new innovative sound. It has only been when a record company went out on a limb and embraced an underground movement that is caused a music revolution. I.E. Nirvana, Sex Pistols, -The Beatles- yes they were not the mainstream when they came out. Something has to change and quick because I am so sick and tired of the utter garbage that is being produced today. I would rather sit through a Mozart symphony than listen to any band or artist that has come out in the last 5-10 years. We have become a spoiled, spoon-fed society that needs the media to tell us what is cool and "in." Most people don't even know the names of the band members that they religiously listen to because they don't care. Music is not sacred to anyone anymore and it makes me sick. And Chumba who? Kill me now. The only thing "classic" about that song is the girl who sings the refrain, "pissing the night away." --which is exactly what we are doing with music today - pissing it away.

I have a hard time considering anything by Chumbawamba as classic rock. However, I have been predicting that loads of 90's music would soon end up becoming a part of what we now consider to be classic rock.

I certainly do see something wrong with that - playing Chumbawamba's "Tubthumping" over the airwaves on the radio should be reason for termintation.

To all these kids nowadays that consider anything from YESTERDAY old, then I guess it would be considered old.
And yes, it's totally wrong!
Only in another 10-15 years should it be considered "classic"

They are a one-hit wonder band, and the song is already ten years old or older.
